PATENTED JUNE 16,1908. M. TILESTON.
EYE GUARD. APPLICATION FILED JUNE 16.1906.
ml'ness'em HENRY MERRILL TILESTON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
EYE-GUARD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 16, 1908.
Application filed June 16, 1906. Serial No. 321,975.
Tl) all whom it mar concern: Be it. known that I, HENRY MERRILL TILES- TON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain how and useful Improvements in Eye- Guards, of which the following, when taken n connection'with the drawing accompanying and forming a part hereof, is a full and complete description, sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to which it pertains .to understand, make, and use the same.
Thisinvention relates to eye guards used to protect the eyes and adjacent portions of the face from particles of dust, snow, hail and the like.- And the object of the inven--.
tion is to obtain an eye guard which is collapsible, of which the lenses are not easily struct ons' illustrated in the drawing referred broken, but easily. replaced when broken,
which-will; conform to the features of the face with the lenses thereof raised to stand out from the face, and'curved or fiat as preferred,' which'permits the lenses thereof to be takentherefrom and different lenses substituted therefor by one not especially skilled in the art, which presents a pleasing appear-' ance, which is durable, not liable to get out. of order, and which can be economically made.
This inventionis embodied in the con- A reference letter applied to designate a given part is used to indicate such-part throughout the several figures of the drawing wherever the same appears.
A is the frame of the eye guard and is provided with the apertures which are closed,
by the lenses of the eye guard; and such frame is also provided with slits at the several corners thereof, the edges adjacent to such slits being overlapped, as at a, a, in the ordinary way. As is shown in the drawing the lenses in this eye guard stand out and forward from the frame A in simhmanner that the raising of the frame by the slits or overlappings a, (1/, is augmented to a considerable extent, and for that reason very lexible material, as leather or cloth, as well as wire gauze, may be used in the construction of such frame and the manner in which the lenses are secured in place permits removal of the lenses when desired. Such raising of the frame by the slits and overlappings, as described, produces a flat body portion in which are located the apertures through which the rings of soft metal hereinafter described are inserted, and the edges of the frame are in contact with the features of the wearer in a different plane from that of the main body portion.
B is a ring formed up of soft metal with the fiaring'fiange C at one edge thereof and the outwardly extending flange E with pro jections E E at the other edge thereof. Projections E, E, are res )ectively bent over on lines e, e, to hold the enses in place.
F, F, are the lenses of the eye guard and may consist of glass, mica or other suitable material. Such lenses are held in place in the rings (B, B,) by the outward flange E and projections E, E, bent over on the lenses, as
'is well illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 4 of the drawing.
- The ring B is provided with apertures G, G, when desired, for ventilation, but where this eye'guard is used to protect the eyes from noxious gases, as it may well be, such apertures G, G, are not used.
H is the binding of frame A and is made of fieirible material such as cloth, leather or the like. i
The apertures in frame A are made slightly smaller in diameter than is the diameter of the ring B and thereby such ring is held in such frame A by frictional engagement withthe edges of the apertures.
Ring B is shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 as substantiallycylindrical; butthe same may be made oval in shape as is illustrated in Fig. 4,
and I have so made them. The oval shape" ring is lettered B. I
l, I, are cords attached to the flexible frame. A to maintain the eye guard in place on the face of the wearer, and maybe made of elastic cord, if preferred.
7 The ring B Qor B") being made of soft metal, as hereinbefore stated, is ofsmall cost, and in case of; breakageof the lenses held therein such broken lenses and the rings holdingthem, (or either of them) may be thrown aside and new lenses in new rings substituted therefor, or the projections E, E, may be bent out sufficiently to insert new lenses, and again closed over thelens.
To assemblethis eye guard the frame A is first made with the slits and overlappings a, a, therein, with the binding H thereon, andprovided with apertures for the lenses and rings B, B. The lenses F, F, are secured in tions E, E"; and theflange C is made on the rings B (or B), .by flanges E and projecsuch rings. The frame A is then drawn over the flan'ges E, E, and after being so drawn ther'eover the edges of the apertures for the such apertures being as stated, slightly smaller than therings. "f In practice-it is found that a-certain movelenses will lie closely to the ring B (or B),
merit of the ringsB, B, in the apertures therefor occurs, particularly when the lenses or the flanges E, E, of the rings B, B, are hit by small flying objects, and that the protection afforded the lens by such movement and by.
the flanges E, E, and projections E, E, protects, toa considerable degree, such lenses w from breakage. The flange C is deeper than the flanges E, E,- to' prevent ring- B coming out of frame A, when in use. It Will be seen 3 that by this'construction I obtain What may be termed a double set out of the lenses from the face of the wearer. i I f Having thus-described my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In an eye guardthe combination of a flexible frame com rising a flat body'portion lyin'g in one plane and a bulging portion the jacent to the aperturesfor the rings standout fromthe face,ring's provided with outwardly extending flanges at the edges thereof, lenses in the rings, means to holdalen's at one end of a ring, the apertures in the frame fitting over yond the frame;substant1ally as described; HENRY.
